Franco Sinantra
Last night we decided that we were going to venture out and experience the live music that BA has to offer. We located a bar that has music every night, and we were excited to see that the show for the night was a Brazilian band, only in town for two nights.
After being pleasantly surprised that there were still plenty of tickets for the show, we began to grow uneasy- a large number of the band members were wearing tuxes, and this combined with the fact that there were a healthy number of octogenarians in the room made us realize that we may have missed the Brazilian band.
Indeed, we had. As the lights dimmed and we flipped through the catalogue, we realized that the band had played the week before, and so we endured (for 3 hours!) Argentine “big band”/ Fran(co) Sinatra- complete with Sr. Patricio (pictured above) fulfilling his duty as the overdone and very cheesy lead singer. The night was made complete with a rendition of “Strangers in the Night” in which we could almost see Emma’s eyes fill up with tears as her cherished song from childhood was performed with effortless beauty.
Well, at least we had vegetables- the “wok oriental” that we ordered was served with a healthy dose of onions and basil!
